OJS + Dataverse: Integrated & Transparent Publishing Workflows Working with journals, organizations that develop editorial software in an effort to move towards an integrated and transparent journal and data publishing workflow to improve access and discoverability of code + research data. essential that the data supporting the results and, ultimately, the article conclusions be made publicly available with the article, thus enabling reproducibility and even reuse in some cases (F1000Research) Eleni Castro, Research Coordinator > IQSS, Harvard PKP AGM 2014 > October 3, 2014
At the Policy-Level… Data availability policies are not enough. Ghergina & Katsanidou 2013 study: 18/120 Pol Sci + IR journals have a replication policy, yet replication “is essential for the evaluation of the quality of a piece of work.” Our initial motivation for this project was that simply at the policy level: data availability policies are not enough. Of the 18 as Ishiyama 2014 points out most of them give the author the responsibility to make the data available (upon request) not publicly accessible and guaranteed available in the long term. Journals may not able to provide storage (Ishiyama 2014), long-term data management and preservation.
Policy + Technology Developing technological solutions in editorial software and repositories can help reduce the rate of noncompliance with journal data availability policies. + Photo: Jean Liu
Introduction to Dataverse Software framework for publishing, citing and preserving research data (open source on github for others to install) Provides incentives for researchers to share: Recognition & credit via data citations Control over data & branding Fulfill journal data availability and funder requirements. Harvard Dataverse (open to all; repository instance at Harvard) currently has: 761 Dataverses > 1 Million Downloads 54,828 Datasets 748,554 Files
OJS-Dataverse Integration OJS Journal Journal Dataverse Citation to Data Citation to Article Details: 2 Year Project 2012-2014 Integrating w/ PKP’s Open Journal Systems (via SWORD API). Pilot with ~ 50 journals + expanding outreach (hundreds) . OJS’ Dataverse plugin now available with latest OJS release. Future: Extend integration with Dataverse to OMP. So what if the author could submit the paper and its underlying research data all on the same platform without having to submit each separately? http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/ojs-dvn
Journal Manager: Sets Up Dataverse Plugin Connect to Dataverse Network ->Select specific Journal Dataverse Settings (when to submit data to Dataverse at article publication or acceptance)
Journal Data Policies Boilerplate Templates Including Guidelines for: Authors (w/ data citation) Reviewers Boilerplate policies for authors to deposit and cite data in OJS Dataverse plugin. Includes boiler plate for Reviewers and copyeditors. Read full Data Policies / Guidelines Template: http://bit.ly/1xkLjoZ
Author Manuscript + Data Submission This step would happen during Step 4: Supplementary File submission step. Joint Declaration of Data Citation principles #3 In scholarly literature, whenever and wherever a claim relies upon data, the corresponding data should be cited Option to: (A) deposit into Dataverse AND/OR; (B) if data is already in a repository can include the data citation (w/ persistent URL/identifier).
Peer Review: Article + Data Together . If article is not approved for publication the dataset (supp files) are removed from Dataverse and OJS.
Data Published in Dataverse w/ OJS Plugin In OJS: In Dataverse: 2 Options in OJS: 1) Dataset Published (with DOI) at Article Approval. 2) Dataset Published when Journal Issue is Released.
Article Published w/ Data Citation Now that the Data Citation is listed on the same page as the article it helps it go one step closer to data citation principle #1 Importance: Data citations should be accorded the same importance in the scholarly record as citations of other research objects, such as publications
But this is just the beginning… We need input from you! This is a reference implementation that we hope others can help expand and improve upon. --------------- References Gherghina, S., & Katsanidou, A. (2013).
